liftin

Okay. as much as I felt like lowering it, just not practical for me.
Although I may catch some harassment for wanting to lift a 2WD, I have my reasons.
Body lift is outta the question. WAY too pricey, wont help my clearance THAT much, and I dont have the skill to do it.
Debated about adding a leaf or two but I dont want it to ride like a skateboard either. Came up with the idea of new shackles for the rear leafs. How much lift could I get this way safely?
As for the front. Im a little nervous on foolin' with the torsion bars. Its an '89 and I can guarantee you those bolts havnt been adjusted ever. Worried the heads gonna snap off one of them and thats just a road I dont wanna go down.
Any other CHEAP and EASY lift ideas? I dont have tons of cash to throw around right now.. Obviously It wont be as high as the one below but I want as high as possible

Depending on how much rust the tortion bolts may be ok. There really isn't a cheap way to raise the front other than turning them up. Downside to that is that you will have positive camber. You can raise the rear with some shackles but I wouldn't go more than maybe 3 inches. If you have access to a welded than maybe you can go more and weld braces between the shackle arms to stiffen them up and keep them from flexing.

you can do a 1inch body lift using hockey pucks

yeah you can find the body lift kits around. i forget how much they are, but should be under $200 for sure.

as for the torsion bolts, just soak them in wd40 or the like a couple squirts over a couple days, and then they should be no problem. i havent done much looking into it yet, but you should be able to get some rear shackles to lift up the rear, and trim up the bump stops up front a bit maybe.then get some bigger tires and that'll give you more lift
